| So, this weekend is full of fun: Today, I'm going to a 6 hour training (which I really need to leave for NOW... just noticed the time...) on safer sex, STDs, how to put on condoms, etc. So, if you ever want a lesbian to teach you how to put on a condom or other fun things about sex, feel free to come to me  Tomorrow, I will be doing some public speaking about my experiences as a youth then youth leader then volunteer for QYC, a youth group for GLBT teens. I'll be talking on my experiences as a youth, some things I've seen with youth NOW, what high schools are like, and a few other things. After that, there is a send-off party for one of the staff with the agency who is moving on to something else. So, the whole weekend is spent QYCing LOL! Should be a good distraction. Now, onto the word of the day: milt (noun) 1. fish sperm 2. reproductive glands of fish, when filled with sperm 3. spleen of certain invertibrate animals, including cows and pigs (not really sure what I was looking at a couple weeks ago when that word was seen... don't blame me) Favorite reviewed item: Uhhh... I didn't do any reviews yesterday. So, check this out:

And this item really deserves being looked at by someone. I didn't finish it as it wasn't really a topic I liked, but maybe you will:

| I'm going to start posting a new-to-me word every day. This can be a word that I've heard often but never knew exactly what the meaning was... or could be a word that I've seen for the first time today. I'm considering turning this into a contest... you'll see soon, won't you Since I don't have my list with me right now, let's start with a common one: languid (adj) 1. lacking in vigor or vitality; slack or slow 2. lacking in spirit or interest; listless; indifferent. 3. drooping or flagging from weakness or fatigue; faint. And, this is my favorite item that I reviewed yesterday:

| I guess I made this cuz I need a bit of a distraction right now... 1. Look in your own blog. What is the title of the 15th entry (or the one 15 before your last - your choice)? Today I Will... 2. Without reading, do you know what it is about? Well, seeing the set-up of the entry, it was about making peppermint patties on a day where adding other things would have been too much to handle. They didn't turn out exactly as I had hoped... so I'll be making another batch shortly... 3. Reach for the nearest book. What is the name of the third chapter. (Or the first line of it if there aren't title.... Or the first line of page 3 if there are no chapters.) "Conflicting Cultures" (in "500 Great Books By Women") and the same distance away (they were stacked) the chapter name is "Ewes And Does" (in "On A Pale Horse") and actually the same distance in the other direction, the chapter name is "Your Cat's Just Not That Into You... If She Physically Abuses You" (in "Your Cat's Just Not That Into You") 4. What is the last item you reviewed?
5. What is your average rating? 4.36 (eek!) 6. What music are you listening to right now? (Or, if you are not... what music do you wish you were listening to?) No music -- wish I was listening to Ani DiFranco or The Congress of Starlings 5710 |
| Look up (waaaaaay up) for your challenge. |
| ... my head's been hurting more. It feels like a stronger pressure now and I swear I feel a bit of a bump. Well, there's nothing I can do about it right now... and I AM scheduled for that brain scan on Monday... let's hope. ???(On a scale of 0 to 10) -happy -sad -silly -mad -overwhelmed-physically sick -anxious/scared/worried -tired -hungry**Ask book_worm why I chose a flower here 5700 |
| Hey guys - A few days ago, I read an exceprt (about 35 pages) of a new book... I couldn't help thinking about Writing.Com as I did so, as the book is about a writer who bascially meets a character from his book. Here is the excerpt for you to read. If you are interested in buying the book, I even have a 25% off code to share! Just let me know. I'd love to hear from you guys about what you thought about the book. Without further delay, here is the beginning of Unwound by Jonathan Baine (who is actually filmmaker Gorman Bechard): http://www.bzzagent.com/member/campaigns/7961745729/Unwound_ch1-5.pdf Not that it should bother any of you guys reading a GC-rated blog, but the excerpt's content is 18+ 5660 |
| I am making a conscious choice to focus on and create beauty and positiveness (even more than usual) today. So far, I've taken a bath with essential oils and candles lit (while drinking my favorite hot tea.) I'm wearing a soft new shirt I bought. I've played with my cats (and watched they play with each other.) Oh, and I've also put on amazing foot lotion (Fair Trade Foot Lotion from http://www.lush.com - you HAVE to try it!) I think I will spend some time making an amazing lunch for myself... and I'll even pick out something to eat for breakfast today. So, what is positive for you?

| *sigh* I feel I'm getting nowhere with my therapist... It's supposed to be different this time... but I'm just not 'getting it' yet. *frown* And, now he's wanting me to get brain scans or something because my memory problems are stronger than they should be for diassociation and my QEEG was normal so it isn't that... and I'm getting headaches where none should be... and other things, but he didn't tell me what those other things were. |
| Check it out: http://www.xpressyourview.com/coexist_shop?gclid=CMnF6uHeiooCFTjTJAod8A3u1g I'm sure it probably can be found elsewhere as well... but the majority of what else I found online only has the CX, and T. I saw a car with a sticker of the one linked. I may need to look into getting one. |
| My computer is BACK at Best Buy. Ever since I got it back a few days go, I've been having a few problems. One was connecting to the Internet (which was an easy fix)... another is that when starting up, my computer sounds like a mini-Tigger is real-life (tiger) form: it tries to growl at me (I can do better! ) Anyway, that is an issue that calls for a send-out  as I guess it is something with the DVD drive and they're going to replace that.Oh well, at least I have Lynn's computer to use. And, on a personal level, I feel like I need to be 'in the shop' heh Things are feeling very crazy... some kinda strange things going on... I'm saying things like "I'm looking from the back of my eyes" and "I'm talking from the top of my voice."  And it makes sense. *shrug* Don't ask. But, of corse Jim just kinda nods and says "I see..." (well, not to that in particular) and says we're going to do something different on Friday. *shrug* |
| To those who have been curious: I got to see the results of my QEEG yesterday. Unfortuantely, it turned out mostly normal. It showed slight problems with anxiety... slight problems with memory... some problems with vocabulary (well, putting words TOGETHER...) and a few other things. It showed no ADHD and none of some other things. It showed probable learning disability, nearly definate brain injury. Because of this: I didn't get to start neurofeedback because he says the Q wasn't clear enough to know exactly what to do. So, He's going to try to contact the person who did my neurofeedback previously to see what Herz she was doing it at. And now I'm left feeling just as (or maybe more) hopeless... I was holding together because I had been told that we'd see what was going on when the results of the Q were in. But, not the case. (Although, he IS also going to consult someone else about it to see if he can get a little more info or something.) So, now what is wrong. And, what will we do. Jim said that it doesn't mean I'm not feeling what I'm feeling and such... just that the treatment isn't so clear. *frown* Sorry if I annoyed, bored, or whatever you. |
I finished it/submitted it! Go me! |
| ... get through the day. ... finish the Peppermint Patties. Those are about as large as my goals can go today. Not going to FOCUS on getting anything else done. |
| Look at this: http://www.myrevive.com/index.php?page=about-me&theme=1&id=vegannutrition You will get a free sample for filling out the form. And, I suggest you take the tour mentioned in the survery as well. I didn't have sound, and it was still interesting! I honestly didn't look through all of it, but it makes sense.... |
| ... but I have to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jSOxAiETUo  It's George Bush 'singing' Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2.(And, for those of you who want the lyrics to the song: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/u/u2/sunday+bloody+sunday_20141428.html ) |
 I left the house today (moved on Christmas, by the way) to go to a doctor's appointment. I get to my car, and I see a nice welcoming present: A Christmas Card on my windshield! The envelope was a beautiful shade of green. Remove it to start reading it... and to my dismay, it wasn't a Christmas Card at all... It was a parking ticket. In my driveway! Never having lived anywhere with sidewalks before, I hadn't realized that blocking one (that is in the middle of where a fuckin second car would fit - no room to park further up or back) is illegal. So... I called the little number on the ticket (which was printed, not handwritten, btw... thought that was odd.) I said I had received a parking ticket and wanted to know who to talk to about it. No response... Just had my call transferred (I found that to be rude; I could have at least gotten a "Sure, I'll transfer you" or something. Hmmm... Maybe I was 'the criminal' at this point and didn't deserve respect  ). The lady I was transferred to said that one of the neighbors probably called it in. So much for a "Welcome To The City" ><Anyway, I'm being sent a slip (at my parents' place because I don't know my address -- ahhh! where do I live?) to contest the ticket. It's just rediculious: Anybody walking, pushing a stroller, rollerblading, whateverthefuck, could get around my car safely and easily... without needing to go on the street or walk in dirt/grass/anything else. So, why complain? Oh, and I have out-of-state plates on my car. So, I very easily could have been a holiday guest here. How fuckin RUDE is it to give someone' s holiday guest a parking ticket for parking in their DRIVEWAY! The neighbor who called (if that was the case) or the cop who gave the ticket COULD have knocked on the door and told me about this... or I could have gotten some sort of warning. I'm not paying the $30 or $15.. shouldn't have to. |

| I can't stop thinking about my ex-roommates telling me: We tried to help you and you just stabbed us in the back. and We put up for you for as long as we could. and You've disrespected us. And I can't stop thinking about the day before... sitting in with the principal and the director of special ed. The prinicpal saying I always hate doing this because I always like to think I've made the right decision when I hire someone. It was something like that at least. I hurt. I really hurt. |
